New Estheticians: Consider Benefits of an Employment Contract

  Many of you may think of contracts as something for mega wealthy people like Bill Gates and Donald Trump, but in actuality all of us need to consider using contracts to protect our financial well being. Even if you are a new esthetician, consider having an attorney draft (or use an online create your own) an employment contract outlining the agreed upon commission split and how those splits will be divided during promotional periods, or discounted coupon customers. If your spa has a contract for you to sign, wait and have an attorney read it before signing. If you can't afford an attorney, try using a law student to at least help you understand what you are signing before you lock yourself into terms you don't like.
(I am not an attorney, nor do I give legal advice, these are my personal opinions based on my own experiences. I err on the side of caution.)
